Overall Experience

We've been consistently impressed by the level of care and compassion shown at Hatfield Haven. The team doesn't just provide support - they treat residents like family, with kindness, dignity and an attention to detail that makes all the difference. My mother-in-law has complex dementia needs, and we've

watched her flourish in this nurturing environment.

The care provided for my mum is very good. Communication between myself and staff - carers and management is excellent especially when it comes to medication changes, health & wellbeing, which is reassuring.
The carers looking after Mum are absolutely lovely, caring & professional.
I would recommend

Overall Experience

My dad has resided at Hatfield Haven since the summer of 2020. He has had plenty of ups and downs, mostly downs, but has always been treated with as much dignity as can be, considering the awful symptoms of dementia. He is now cared for in his bed, all his needs are met to a high standard by the wonderful

staff and management there. 10/10.

A relatively small care home, this really suits my mum. The staff are friendly, caring and go out of their way to help in any way possible. The management team totally supported mums intergration from home life to living at Hatfield Haven. I have also benefited from their care and attention. Thank you.

Overall Experience

As my wife has only been a resident at Hatfield Haven since the 11th June 2025, this has to be a limited report so far. She needs more time to give a honest opinion so far, but she is coming to terms with her care, but we both agree this so far so good. I personally am very pleased with the home and

its excellent life and care they give to all their residents.

Overall Experience

The staff provide excellent care to the residents and seem to have a genuine connection with them. The atmosphere is positive and residents are encouraged to engage in activities. As a visitor I'm always made to feel welcome. I think the food could be improved as it is often bland and portions overwhelming.

The management company don't engage with residents/families and treat it very much as a business. I hope they appreciate their staff, but I'm not sure they do.

Reply from Sarah Smith, Administrator at Hatfield Haven

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really do appreciate your feedback. We constantly review our 4 week menu and make changes as per our residents input, however I will pass your feedback on. I'm so pleased that you are happy with the care and atmosphere we provide.

The management and staff at Hatfield Haven are kind, caring and respectful towards all of the residents and each other. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the staff are all very attentive towards each resident's individual needs, whether that be physical or emotional. I have no concerns now about

my aunt's health, welfare or safety. This home is a 'gem' and shows how to run a gold standard care home.

I visit regularly 4-5 days during the week. My wife and I were together for 43 years including 5 years prior to her residency.
The home is a caring environment which establishes much more of a 'homely' feeling. Staff were very approachable and always helpful, courteous and attentive.

It's a difficult decision to place your loved one into care due to dementia. I am very happy with his care, the staff are good, well trained and make sure my needs are met also, nothing is too much trouble. The staff are the same all the time so I've got used to them.
It's early days, but I hope my

husband settled in the future as he has so far.

Overall Experience

Truly outstanding, my mum was moved here from another care home that was nowhere near as good. The staff are all so caring and passionate about what they do. Residents are treated to so many engaging activities. There was a belly dancing raffle pancake day. And a Pantomime every year. Trips to the seaside.

Visits to the airport to see planes taking off, plus tea and cake. There are animal experiences; snakes, dogs, meerkats, bats, spiders, owls. It is so heartwarming to see my mum put on weight and enjoying herself. I feel I have got my mum back from her dementia. It is like having a second family. Every visit is so enjoyable.

I can only praise all the staff for everything they do, both staff and management are always welcoming to the family. I would certainly recommend

Since moving into Hatfield Havenmy fathers condition has dramatically improved, it is lovely to see him regaining interest and enjoyment of his life. His physical needs have been well looked after and he has the right amount of stimulation to help him close with his dementia. The staff have been so

careful with the residents during the pandemic while giving us as much freedom as possible to visit too.

I have always been impressed with every aspect of my mother's care at Hatfield Haven, but I write as we are in the mid-Covid-19 situation.
I have been so impressed with the way the whole team, from the management to the carers, have handled a very dangerous situation.
It has been so very hard not

being able to visit, but the staff have done their very best to maintain contact between our family and our mother ie, phone calls and facetime. It has helped us cope with the current situation, just knowing that Mum is in a loving, caring environment. I will never be able to thank them all enough.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for over 3 1/2 years and has had nothing but the best standard of care the staff can provide. She is extremely content and I am very comforted by that. My only complaint would be that her fees have increased by 25% which I find unacceptable as her pension and other benefits

have not!
